The band released their self-titled debut EP in July 2001. It was followed by another EP a year later, titled Machine, which spawned an identically titled single that peaked at number 37 on the UK Singles Chart.[1] The band's debut studio album, Fever to Tell, was released in April 2003, reaching number 55 on the US Billboard 200 chart and number 13 on the UK Albums Chart.[1][2] Fever to Tell spawned four singles, including "Maps", which also charted in the US and UK.[1][3] The band then released their first video album, Tell Me What Rockers to Swallow, which features footage from a live performance and all of the band's music videos through 2004.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs second album, Show Your Bones, was released in March 2006, followed a year later by another EP, Is Is. They released their third studio album, It's Blitz!, in April 2009.[4] It's Blitz! spawned the single "Heads Will Roll", which appeared on several international charts. The band's fourth album, Mosquito, was released in April 2013 and became their highest-peaking album in the US to date, reaching number five on the Billboard 200.[2] After Mosquito, the band took a brief hiatus. Nine years later, Yeah Yeah Yeahs released their fifth album, Cool It Down, in September 2022.
